What is Golden Turquoise? Golden Hills turquoise, also known as Golden Hill or Kazakhstan turquoise, is a relatively new and highly sought-after variety of turquoise discovered in the Altyn-Tyube mine in Kazakhstan. The name “Altyn-Tyube” actually translates to “Golden Hill,” giving the stone its name.
Golden Hills turquoise is prized for its unusual pastel blue to lavender-blue hue, often accompanied by a chocolate brown or golden matrix. The color contrast—soft sky blue against a warm matrix—is unlike any other turquoise in the world. The stone’s natural hardness and minimal need for stabilization make it especially desirable among collectors and jewelers.
